Important Information Warranty The GPIB-ENET is warranted against defects in materials and workmanship for a period of two years from the date of shipment, as evidenced by receipts or other documentation. National Instruments will, at its option, repair or replace equipment that proves to be defective during the warranty period.
This device complies with the FCC rules only if used with shielded interface cables of suitable quality and construction. National Instruments used such cables to test this device and provides them for sale to the user. The use of inferior or nonshielded interface cables could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment under the...
Ethernet network. This manual also assumes you have MacTCP installed on your Macintosh, which is required before you can use the driver software for the GPIB-ENET. MacTCP is available from Apple Computer, Inc. How to Use This Manual Set...
Additionally, you might need to refer to your MacTCP, Open Transport, or LocalTalk documentation. Customer Communication National Instruments wants to receive your comments on our products and manuals. We are interested in the applications you develop with our products, and we want to help if you have problems with them.
Chapter Introduction This chapter lists what you need to get started and optional equipment you can order, gives instructions for inspecting your GPIB-ENET, and briefly describes the NI-488.2 software, the GPIB-ENET hardware, and its assigned Ethernet address. What You Need to Get Started...
The NI-488.2 software is a comprehensive set of programs and drivers that comes with your kit. It simplifies the job of programming the GPIB-ENET to function as an IEEE 488.2 (GPIB) Controller with complete communication and bus management capabilities. The NI-488.2 software also comes with an interactive debugger, the...
The GPIB-ENET converts a computer equipped with an NI-488.2 driver and an Ethernet port into a GPIB Talker/Listener/Controller. The GPIB-ENET is powered by a 100 to 120 VAC or 220 to 240 VAC supply. The GPIB-ENET has all the software and logic required to implement the physical and electrical characteristics of all versions of the ANSI/IEEE 488 standard, including ANSI/IEEE Standard 488.2-1987,...
Indicates that power has been supplied to unit and ON/OFF switch is in ON position. READY Indicates the functional state of GPIB-ENET. When GPIB-ENET is powered on, this LED flashes and then becomes steady when box is ready for operation. Continuous flashing indicates an error has occurred. TALK Indicates that GPIB-ENET is configured as a GPIB Talker.
The GPIB-ENET has a 2-position slide switch and an 8-bit DIP switch that you use to configure the operating characteristics of the box. These switches are located on the back panel of the GPIB-ENET, as shown in Figure 1-3. 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 10BASE-T Figure 1-3.
Frequency Figure 1-4. GPIB-ENET Identification Label The identification label lists various information about the GPIB-ENET, including the part number, hardware revision number, and serial number. It also lists the unique Ethernet address that was assigned at the factory. The last line on the identification label lists the AC input voltage (100 to 120 V or 220 to 240 V), the frequency, the current, and fuse information.
The Internet Protocol (IP) address is the address that TCP/IP-based networks use to route information to the appropriate network and host. When you first install a GPIB-ENET in a network, or if the IP address for the GPIB-ENET changes, you must configure the IP address for the GPIB-ENET.
Configure the DIP Switch The 8-bit DIP switch selects the operation mode of the GPIB-ENET. The GPIB-ENET is shipped from the factory with the DIP switch set for normal operating mode. Figure 2-1 shows the factory default setting of this DIP switch.
Once the GPIB-ENET receives its IP address, it stores the address in nonvolatile memory. After the IP address is stored, place Switch 6 ON so the GPIB-ENET refers to the stored IP address and does not wait to be configured with an IP address each time it is powered on.
Connect the other end to your Ethernet network. Be sure to follow all IEEE 802.3 cabling restrictions. 2. Connect the GPIB cable to the GPIB-ENET and tighten the thumb screws on the connector. Connect the other end to your GPIB system.
AppleTalk-to-TCP/IP protocol conversions for Macintosh. MacTCP is available separately from Apple Computer, Inc. You can use the NI-488.2 package to connect to your GPIB-ENET through LocalTalk after you make the necessary configurations to your TCP/IP software. In addition, your LocalTalk network must have an Ethernet gateway.

Ethernet • is the GPIB-ENET firmware image, where GPIB-ENET_EPROM xx stands for the firmware revision number.
Figure 3-3. Figure 3-3. NI-488 Config Control Panel 3. To choose a GPIB bus to use with your GPIB-ENET, check one of the bus selection boxes as shown in Figure 3-3. The configuration in Figure 3-3 shows...
Chapter 3 Software Installation and Configuration 4. To enter the IP address of your GPIB-ENET, choose the GPIB bus associated with your box by selecting the bus using the Bus/Device menu. An IP Address edit box appears below the Bus Timing menu.
If you still have problems after completing the steps in this chapter, complete the forms in Appendix C, Customer Communication, and call National Instruments for technical support. It is essential to have these forms filled out before calling so that National Instruments can answer your questions more quickly and accurately.
Verify the Software Installation This step verifies that the NI-488.2 driver is installed and functioning with the GPIB-ENET. If any one of the software installation steps fails, you might have to change a hardware or software setting. If this is the case, refer to Chapter 2, Hardware Installation and Configuration, or Chapter 3, Software Installation and Configuration.
GPIB-ENET. READY LED Signaling The READY LED has several purposes on the GPIB-ENET. When you first power on the GPIB-ENET, the READY LED flashes while it completes its power-on self tests. When all the tests complete...
I do? Make sure that DIP Switch 7 is set to OFF. If Switch 7 is OFF and the driver still cannot communicate with the GPIB-ENET, make sure that the Ethernet Port Configuration slide switch is in the correct position for your network connections.
